DAVID SILVA is convinced Spanish team-mate Fernando Torres will regain his best form at Chelsea.

Torres, who scored Chelsea’s opening goal against Swansea yesterday and was later sent off, has come under fire at Stamford Bridge following his £50million move from Liverpool in January.

But Manchester City winger Silva has backed his compatriot, who scored in the 3-1 defeat to Manchester United last week but also missed an open goal

Silva, who also took time to settle at his new club after a £26m move from Valencia last year, said: “Fernando is a great player. He has always contributed greatly to the team and will continue to do so.”
